About Remote Access Service Administration

Windows 2000 and later operating systems provide a set of functions for administering user permissions and ports on RAS servers. Using these functions, you can develop a RAS server administration application to perform the following tasks:

• Enumerate those users who have a specified set of RAS permissions
• Assign or revoke RAS permissions for a specified user
• Enumerate the configured ports on a RAS server
• Get information and statistics about a specified port on a RAS server
• Reset the statistics counters for a specified port
• Disconnect a specified port

You can also install a RAS server administration DLL to audit user connections and assign IP addresses to dial-in users. The DLL exports a set of functions that the RAS server calls whenever a user tries to connect or disconnect.
